![]() In the meantime tho I did something I haven’t done since the early 2000s: I broke loose the next plate in the back next to the GPU card slot, meaning now the GPU fan can throw out about 35% of it’s heated air directly thru that slot 2 cm from it. I have ordered a new gaming rig that should be here in a month or so (damn tech shortages) but in the meantime I have ordered a 14 cm chassi fan to put in along the other intake fan, and this one is primitive, it will always run at max speed… It’s just that in Windows it no longer registers the need to increase speed at higher temperatures. So even the speed controller itself works. ![]() The fans are not BROKEN, they spin and during bios check at startup all fans sound like a hurricane, as always. All fans except the GPU who handles it’s own fan are always idling, aka on the lowest specced RPM. ![]() So DEFINITELY a heating issue.įinally today my wife was out of town so I could game with speakes instead of headphones… and realized what the core issue is: The fan control isn’t working. I tested to put a big ol’ tower fan outside of the computer just blowing air into the intake from 40 cm away (not with an open chassi! just in front of the normal intake) and suddenly i could up the resolution and run smoothly even.I moved it a bit and it now gives a more powerful airflow directly on the GPU and CPU (before it was aiming to first cool the HDD, but I don’t need it to do that). It’s a pre-built tower and the intake fan was placed awkwardly. ![]() I had neglecting cleaning and the CPU, GPU and intake fans were very dusty.I know, I know, but i figure I throw out my issue here as well.įor a while i have noticed my GPU or CPU is throttling due to overheat in Windows when running relatively modern games.ĭuring my trial and error I found out that ![]()
